V676 ® / V476 ® CONTROL CONSOLE USER MANUAL 411
Palette
A bank of associated buttons used to store and recall attributes for Beam, Color, Preset, Dynamics, Effects,
Snapshots, Macros, and Cue Stacks.
Part
A component of an effect set. Parts are made up of specified channels (luminaire groups) with the limitation that a
channel may only appear once within the set.
Patch
The mechanism by which thumbwheel addresses (luminaire and interfaces) are assigned to channel numbers. Any
number of conventional thumbwheels may be patched to a single control channel.
Also see Channel.
Preset
A set of programmed parameters which can be applied to selected channels using the Preset Palette or command-
line keypad. All luminaire parameter attributes, including timing values, may be stored into a preset. Changes to
presets track automatically into any cues in which they were used.
Preview Editing
A console mode wherein all actions taken are stored to the appropriate luminaires, but are not executed on stage.
Also see Live Editing.
Primary Console
This console serves as the main system console. It stores the show file and retains overall submaster control.
Prism
A beam altering mechanism available in some luminaires. Sometimes called an "effects" wheel.
Quick-Focus
QuickFocus allows stepping through a selected preset, one channel at a time, to verify its parameter data. At the
conclusion of a QuickFocus operation, all luminaires are brought to the proper position, allowing the preset to be
modified if required.
Range Editing
Allows data to be modified across a range of presets and cues. Range editing is provided for modifying parameter
attributes, timing information, and cue data. Range editing allows targets to be selected for modification by particular
attributes, i.e, channels in a particular state could be selected and told to assume some other state (not necessarily
via the same parameter).
Rate
Allows the recorded time/speed attributes for luminaires to be manually adjusted. Rate adjustments (from 0 to 999)
may be provided to a board cue, a cue, or effect. Rate adjustments can be added to the cue attributes for later recall.
The default setting of 100 is defined as real time. Rates higher than 100 will cause faster playback of events, while
rates lower than 100 will cause slower playback of events.
Recalibrate
Returns a luminaire to its default home position based on its profile and re-downloads data.
Recall
Allows specified parameter data for selected channels to be recalled live from stored preset or cue, as modified by
any filter settings.
